Print Data Resolution Control for Error Suppression
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current printing technologies face issues with rendering errors such as missing objects and image quality deterioration, especially when handling varying print data sizes, despite the use of standard drivers and extensions like the IPP.
Innovation Solution
A control program that dynamically adjusts the resolution of print data based on the sheet size by obtaining the pixel number and setting a threshold value, generating secondary data with a lower volume when the pixel number exceeds a predetermined threshold, to prevent printing errors across different print data sizes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If high resolution print data is used, then image quality is improved, but rendering errors occur when the pixel number exceeds the sheet capacity
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the resolution of print data based on the pixel number threshold corresponding to the sheet size. When the pixel number of print data exceeds the threshold, the resolution is lowered to generate secondary print data, preventing rendering errors while maintaining optimal image quality for each sheet capacity
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the resolution parameter of print data based on the pixel number threshold. By comparing the pixel number of print data with the threshold value and adjusting the resolution parameter accordingly, the system generates appropriate print data that matches the sheet capacity, thereby suppressing rendering errors
2Reliability
If resolution is lowered to prevent rendering errors, then printing reliability is improved, but image quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts resolution based on the relationship between pixel number and sheet capacity. When pixel number exceeds the threshold, resolution is lowered to prevent errors; when within threshold, original resolution is maintained for high image quality
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies different resolution levels to different print data based on their pixel numbers. Print data with pixel numbers exceeding the threshold receive lowered resolution, while those within threshold maintain high resolution, ensuring each dataset receives appropriate quality treatment
